Moose Vandalizim

 I thought " why does this bull have a red/blond back?" then it dawned on me its sun bleached like my hair got every summer.  I love the light, color, and gesture of this bull.

 Being a landscape designer, I just about ran over and stopped this fellow from destroying this tree.  I thought better of it, because he had a lovely cow close by and he might get aggitated.

Moose Behavior

First Light usually provides great wildlife opportunities.  First light also produces some strong directional light.  

This gesture is typical of moose during the ruth

Grand Teton National Park

A clear cold morning in the beautiful Grand Teton National Park. The temperature is -9º with 10" of fresh new snow.  My wish was to include  the mighty Snake River in the foreground of this photo. Unfortunately the closer I walked toward the river the softer the focus became because of the fog off the river. My planned composition will need to be captured on a warmer morning, without fog. Maybe March 2012.
